SYRIA. Phoenicia. Byblus. 'Ozba'al, ca. 400-365 B.C. AR Shekel (13.27 gms). NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5.
HGC-10, 133. Obverse: Three hoplites on galley left above waves; below, hippocamp left above murex shell; Reverse: Lion attacking bull left. An attractive piece that is coated in gorgeous mint luster, this beautiful example provides a strong strike and nice surfaces. A slightly irregular flan is noticed, a somewhat common occurrence on these Shekels. Certain to be much demanded on account of the beauty of the design and wonderful state of preservation.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
